Hi all,
I have a very old car radio and my cds stopped working. I was wondering if my phone can transmit fm to the car radio? If yes, which app? Of no, can i buy some transmitter that i could first connect to my phone and then transmit to car radio?
It would be even more awesome if i could transmit internet radio from phone.
Thanks!
Edit - Never mind

Right....sorry about that. I'm ill so i got a bit confused.
Anyway, any useful info?
In my opinion fm tx-ing is very crappy, it would be better for you to change your old car radio in a less old car radio with an AUX in jack.
Then you will be able to connect your phone via a coaxial stereo cable 3,5mm jack from your phone to the car radio jack.
Audio quality will be for sure better that way, even if a bit more expensive (with 50 euros or less you'll find some entry level car radio with aux in jack) then buying a Chinese FM transmitter.
You're probably right...still maybe someone tried something that works good and is cheap to get.
If i can' t find anything, i'll go for a radio exchange option.
Thanks

Hi,
My Vario II justification to the misses was that we'd be able to listen to music in the car with it (our CD player is dead).
Has anyone come across an FM transmitter that you can power from the car cigar lighter and plug directly into the mini usb socket on the TyTN?
Cheers,
Steve.
I'm looking for the same thing
I bought a SONY MEX5000 BT stereo that uses Bluetooth streaming. It is so cool! much better quality(sound) then the radio ones. I dont carry CDs anymore just everything over BT with MP3s.

and how to connect ?
--> no way @ this moment ...
Try Nokia HS-12W. Google to see how it looks like.
It is a bluetooth Stereo Headset which you can listen to MP3 played from Tytn.
It is also a standalone FM Radio by itself without the Tytn at all.
I have one, cool.
Hi and is there a bluetooth receiver taht one can plug into a stereo ?
HS-12W is a Wireless (no wire between it and phone) Stereo Headphone via Bluetooth with Build in FM Radio.
What I meant about the bluetooth reciever is if there is one that tha pda streams music and is recieved by a device that can be plugged into the home stereo, same principle as a headset only differance is that it'll go to speakers.....hop I made it clearer this time... or maybe it's that I am not gettin it jaja
You are refering to Home Stereo Hi-Fi Amplifier/Receiver to speakers. Well it is something I was thinking about some years ago when I first read the white paper on Bluetooth v2.0 A2DP Profile.
But Hi-Fi industry in term of following latest trend is normally a little slower than the computer & mobile industry. So far, not that I know of that there is a build in Bluetooth Hi-Fi system including speakers. Maybe it is time to do a google on this topic, it would be good if there is such solution to get rid of the messy wire connections.
I do know that there is such thing as Bluetooth Donger, which is a bluetooth device with a headphone jack and you can plug the headphone jack into the Hi-Fi headphone jack and bingo you have wireless music with you wireless headphone, but bluetooth is quite subject to surrounding interfence, so you may have broken music in your ears.
The is also some not so good old technology using Infra-Red. The better ones are the wireless headphone sets using RF frequency which you can listen to music even you and your hi-fi are in different room.
Hope I got your question right this time.
Hey CWKJ,
Thanx for your reply. Look at the following link:
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=130588
It's a bluetooth speaker, but what I am looking for is something that can make any car home stereo into a bluetooth reciever...
You mean something like the Tunestage II for the iPOD?
http://www.techdigest.tv/2006/10/belkins_tunesta.html
I'm looking for something similar that will plug into a car stereo - i.e. a bluetooth receiver which will plug into the external input of my car stereo, so I can stream to it from my TyTN - anyone know of anything?
PS Yes, I have seen the Parrot MK6000, but I don't think its out until Q1 2007....
BINGO!! Yes like this, only that you don't need the transmitter (tytyn would be it!).
check out the I-Tech S35 clip. A2DP receiver with a 5mm headset jack. You can cable this to your car with an adaptor cable. The I-Tech doesn't skip either!
Yes! this seems to work! jajaj do you actually use it? or know of someone that has used it with this purpose?
Once again thank you for your responses!
I've not used it myself for this purpose. I've no doubt that it will work though. What I am interested in is the usable range. The applicaton I have in mind will require 4-5 meter range from the I-Tech device to my TyTN.

Ok, you are talking about car hi-fi system, the speaker looks good.
For Home hi-fi system, maybe there isn't bluetooth audiophile speaker yet.
For the car hi-fi system, there are some with the audio output (the Left - Right or White - Red cable build-in type audio output cable). Buy another cable adaptor (Left - Right/White - Red to stereo headphone cable) and the Bluetooth Donger, connect them up and you will have the audio on you bluetooth speaker. Hope this works!

I already found some for sale in ebay!! wow!
hello
is there any solution to run FM radio without headset
i know that the headset is the Antenna
but if i am verry neer from the signal source (2m) i think that i did't need Antenna!!!
I really want to know if there's a way to use the FM Radio without the headset too.
FM Radio without the headset
+1
I would like to have it for a long time !
What I have, is the MiniUSB adapter for the headphones, so I can use ordinary headphones in the phone, this is identical to what I have:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Headphone-Ear...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
When this is plugged in, even with no headphones plugged into the end, it still thinks the headphones are plugged in and therefore I can listen to the FM Radio out loud when this little adapter (about 2" long) is plugged in.
Hello,
Actually i think its a big problem....
I bought a Motorola S9 (bluetooth headphone), its arriving in a few days...and im concerned about this...
thats all
It'd be good if there could be a built-in ariel so that the headphones don't have to be the ariel. My iPod earphones are shocking.

Is this possible? I want to be able to stream like pandora or my MP3's to my car radio. My car radio sux and doesnt have an input jack...nor bluetooth..its an older 2000 alero
Normally I'd buy an FM transmitter to stereo jack piece of hardware..but I thought maybe check with you guys first to see if its possible to wireless transmit my music to the car radio.
Maybe I do need an FM Transmitter tho eh?
unless your car has bluetooth, then yeh you need a transmitter...
ps, i recently purchased a garmin touch screen gps with an fm transmitter and an sd card slot, so i just put my micro sd in an sd card adapter and into the gps and stream to the car radio!
i guess this would be useful if you have something like this or are looking to purchase a gps unit
Buy a cheap Bluetooth stereo, they don't cost much and it all get that much better and easier.
this is what you want....
Motorola T505. I have one and love it!
http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/t505/
Hey guys .. I posted in the accessory forum as well.. I am not sure exactly where I should post this question.
Okay, I have an older car (2001 Dodge Stratus)
The stereo is not stock but it is still old and does not have a USB or 3.5mm connection. I used to use my ipod for music so I bought a --static.bhphoto.com/images/images345x345/424579.jpg--- for my car. (It plugs into the cigarette lighter and connects usb to ipod connection).
If I take the connector out I can run USB to Micro USB for my Galaxy s3 and it will charge. However if I go onto google music the sound will not come through my car speakers.
Can my device do this? Do I need a new device, that goes into my cigarette lighter? Do I just need a new stereo? I thought I would be able to still use the same FM transmitter via usb but it seems to not work. Are there 3.5mm cigarette lighter FM transmitters I could use instead? Any help would be awesome. Thanks so much ahead of time.
Connect the S3 with 3.5mm jack to the lighter FM transmitter. You need that cable which has the 3.5mm on both sides.
The one I currently have doesnt have one. It only has a usb connection? But a 3.5mm connection to a lighter fm transmitter should work then.. if I were to buy one?
I guess USB can't transfer the audio? I am just unsure how the ipod works and an android phone cant work on the same connection.

Because it's not the USB connection that is transferring the audio on the iPod either. There's no connection between the cigarette lighter and your stereo.
The music is being fed into the FM transmitter from the iPod (via the connection that also charges it) and is then transmitted into your FM radio wirelessly. It's creating a mini radio station for your car (and close nearby others )
Also, its hard to see from the image, but if your FM transmitter accepts a 3.5mm plug, you can simply get a male-male 3.5mm jack and insert it and the other end to your S3. As suggested by the earlier post

It does not have a 3.5mm plug. But If i were to get a 3.5mm adapter that goes into the cigarrette lighter than it should than be able to communicate wirelessly with the FM transmitter to get the audio through my speakers?

No, there must always be a physical connection between your S3 or iPod and your FM transmitter. The transmitter then converts the signal to an FM signal and it's picked up by your car stereo and speakers.
I haven't seen any FM transmitters that allow you to dock your S3 and charge/transmit the music to the FM transmitter. Possibly, you may find one if you search some. Otherwise there seems to be many FM transmitters that allow you to plug in a 3.5mm plug so that's easy enough. However, your phone won't be charged at the same time (dunno if that is an issue?)
EDIT:
Guess i was wrong. There is something on the market which has charging and FM transmitter in 1 unit: http://www.amazon.com/Dashview-Transmitter-charger-handsfree-Samsung/dp/B006GWD1FM
Note, im not recommending that product or something, just the first result in Google when i searched
Hi there.
I wish I could use the FM Radio with my bluetooth helmet headset so I can listen to the radio while driving my scooter.
as far as I know there are no way to that.
anyone know something more?

you can use FM radio only when connected with wired headset. What I do to listen to my bluetooth speaker is, connect bluetooth speaker to device and plug wired headset in to FM to start FM, enjoy.
Why would you say that there is no way to do that?
what you say is correct but it's a trick... I wonder why you cannot turn on the fm radio without the earphones in.

Because earphones act as antenna for FM. I don't know the logic but that's how it is.
that's exactly what I was thinking!
i need to try with a 3,5mm plug without a cable attached.
